"Holly Mims smashed touted Spider Webb to the canvas tonight to score a unanimous, upset 10 round decision before 4,500 Coliseum fans. There wasn't a dull moment in the nationally televised fight. And Mims made good his boast that he would lick the 3rd ranked Webb and thus regain national recognition. The climax came midway in the 6th round when Webb went crashing to the canvas under a vicious right left combination. He was immediately on his knees, however, and took a nine count. Mims forced most of the action. But with the exception of the knockdown, Webb weathered the storm each time and frequently countered in close infighting. Mims suffered a puffed right eye in the fracas, but was otherwise unmarked." -United Press
